I see. Group D is going to be a SERIOUS night of starcraft. Poor Stork, I wouldn't even bother practising for this one, wait for the next tournament. my preds: A - Sharp 1st, Best/Zero 2nd, toss up there B - Snow 1st, Shine 2nd C - Soulkey 1st, Mini 2nd D- ??????? Those are some pretty comfy pyjamas they've got them dressed in this season, I was half expecting them to bring out pillows cause it looks like they're here for the best sleepover ever | ||

Lets hope his ZvP is still as good as it was in KSL 1, if so he should easily be able to destroy Rain and Stork. Maybe Last still has PTSD from all those JD fanboys trash talking him after KSL S1 finals. Also kinda sucks for Zero (yeah Zero, not Queen, you don't get to change ur name) to have such a tough group in his first tourney after his military service. | ||

basically the only matchup I'm not ecstatic about is Ample v Shine. What the fuck is Grp D. Too bad I missed everyone of that group streaming their reaction to this outcome. There's a real possibility Stork or JD will go out 0-2. Stork starting w/ a PvP might be what gives him a chance to compete though. | ||

I'm sure JD would defeat Rain, thing is he might not even have the opportunity to play him. I think Last should be able to defeat JD, Rain defeat Stork, JD defeat Stork in loser match, but Rain could beast last in winners match. That mean JD has to play Last, arguably the best player of the whole tournament twice in the Ro16. Can't believe how unlucky JD is as a player in general :| | ||

Grah what a sick group. Hopefully Stork's pvp doesn't screw us. Rain vs Last rematch would be great. | ||

Whereas in the ASL, they play double-elim bo1 in the group stages and then bo5 for the playoffs. I'm curious why they don't play at least bo3 in the group stages for the ASL?? | ||

Whereas in the ASL, they play double-elim bo1 in the group stages and then bo5 for the playoffs. I'm curious why they don't play at least bo3 in the group stages for the ASL?? I think running time and player stamina would probably be a key issue there. If they did Bo3s you'd need 10-15 games to decide a group and that means you'd have to split it into multiple nights like KSL - expecting somebody to play potentially up to 9 games of a matchup like TvT or TvZ would have diminishing returns on the quality of the games due to player fatigue. However, it would be harder to split up because KSL has the nice even system of AvB/CvD one night, Winners and Losers another and then 2x final bo5 on another night. If you try to start splitting up Bo3s you'd end up with a bit of an uneven schedule. You could do 3 bo3s in one night, then 2 on another or something maybe. I agree though that the bo1 format can be frustrating when you see a better player knocked out or have a very short night of dull games I wouldn't mind seeing a compromise group stage where only the winners and final games as bo3s while the rest were bo1s. It would mean the much weaker players would be eliminated quickly and you wouldn't have to sit through a very one sided series while at the same time make it a bit harder for the good players to be eliminated by cheese plays designed to win bo1s. | ||

Yeah, I'm not suggesting that they finish the group all in one night. Something like what KSL is doing or even if they hold multiple groups in one night. Thus, it could be AvB/CvD from Group1 & Group2 in night one, and then winners/losers for both groups in another night. The deciders for all Groups1-4 can be all done in a night. The main point in my opinion is that I feel that bo1 group stage is not ideal. | ||

KSL has a way better format. Maybe a bo5 is a bit of a stretch, bo3 would suffice I think, but it's for sure better than a bo1. I wish ASL had the old OSL format for groups and then a bo5 for every game of play-offs, except for the finals which should be a bo7. | ||

I think Best has better chances than Sharp, MisO is a clear underdog against Shine in zvz, ASL 6 wildcard (iirc?) actioN vs Mini was one of the best PvZ ive watched last year, actioN can always pull out a win, especially against Mini imo. As much as i root for JD, i think his best shot is if Last win against Rain in the winners match. Otherwise, hell die twice to Last | ||

People are still sleeping on Snow, after all that has happened recently... He is the strongest player in group B by far. Only, Shine has that mysterious quality that can allow him to win games against even the most formidable opponents. I hope Miso comes more prepared than he was for Calm in the ASL. Mini vs Action? Yes, please. Best vs Zero? Aye sir, PvZ it is sir. May I have some more sir? | ||

Let me repeat that, Last just finished winning the ASL. His play is unbelievably strong right now. Don't talk to me about his wrists. If Jaedong makes it out over Rain even, I would be very surprised. (I love you Jaedong, but come on man... I see your stream.) It's a little known TL rule that you have to criminally underrate Last and Sharp. Speaking of, post reported. | ||
